Food For Thought

Love is

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

- The Bible: 1 Corinthians 13:4 -

Grief, turmoil, heartache, loneliness, fear, anger, stress, depression, anxiety, humiliation, are just some of the wide spectrum of negative emotions that affect each one of us at some time or other. Take a moment out of each and every day to love someone by offering a helping hand, a kind word or hug, a listening ear, financial support, anything that might show you care and make the world of difference to someone who is in pain. Just remember the maxim:

‘Do unto others as you would like others to do unto you.'
